TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Goggle

My new go-to goggles for swimming/triathalons
I swam for over 15 years, including 4 years NCAA Div 1 college swimming. I always used "Sweedish goggles", mostly because of price, low profile and great peripheral vision. These goggles have all that plus a nice slim rubber gasket around the eye sockets that make this an extremely comfortable fit. Since I've been "retired" for nearly 10 years from competitive swimming, and now doing triathalons, the comfort of these really help for long workouts and competitions. They hold up really well in salt water.Recommendations:1. Get bungee straps. The laytex straps that come with this are standard, and they will rot with prolonged chlorine usage unless you're really good about washing your goggles off after every practice (which nobody does).2. Use the string for the nose bridge. Very few people will find success of using the rubber goggle strap as a nose bridge.3. Replace the lenses every 6-12 months. The anti-fog on these goggles is OK, but if you're really picky and must have your goggles crystal clear, expect to replace them every 6+ months. If you can easily handle fog, then replace them 12 months.

Absolutely the best, except for one thing...
I swim every day in the summer, and 3- 4 times a week during the remainder of the year. I have bought 2 or 3 sets of these goggles from Amazon every year since 2017. No other brand/model fits so well, thanks to the comfortable adjustable nose strap. Like any other brand, they wear out with constant use, but at this price, it's not a hardship to replace them. I am sure you will find them superior to any others, as I have. As with any plastic lenses, DO NOT use anything but plain water or very mild soap to clean them.ONE IMPORTANT THING TO BE AWARE OF:Every now and then, they send a bad pair. So far, that's been a total of 2. In my last purchase, I bought 2 pair, and one leaked so badly that they were unusable, while the other pair was perfect. The problem is, I bought them far in advance of using them, and it was 5 months before I learned that I had a bad pair. My advice: when you get them, use them at least once within the return period so that a bad pair can be replaced. I used the bad pair that I got after 5 months, so it's too late to get my money back.

Awesome quality!
My son now uses these as his favorite goggles for high school swim team. "No leaks!" Per a happy swimmer who usually complains about that problem on a daily basis. I will be buying a second pair!

Cheaply made, hard to adjust and water gets in eyes
I bought 3 speedo goggles and this TYR goggle after reading lots of reviews. I was disappointed with the quality of the TYR. We went swimming twice and spent a lot of time trying to adjust these goggles so they would work for my daughter. They are very difficult to adjust as their is only one plastic piece that holds both sides of elastic. When you try to tighten one side, the other side gets loose. My daughter's hair kept getting pulled into the plastic piece as I was trying to do a slight adjustment. Because of the number of good reviews, I think they must work once you get them perfectly adjusted, we just never got there after wasting most of our swim time for two weeks. The speedos on the other hand, worked for every person in our family without any adjustments. The quality of materials was noticeably better (in the speedos) at a glance. They worked... no water in our eyes. The TYR were constantly leaking water into my daughter's eyes even though we probably spent 30 minutes each week working on adjusting them. I tried them as well to see if they might work better on a different face, but had no success at all in keeping water out of them. I am returning these and getting speedo vanquishers.

Good sweds
I have been a swimmer for about 6 years. Ive just always used speedo vanquishers, but a friend of mine recently got a pair of these and I though I'd give them a try. We both love them! We wanted to try swedish goggles, but weren't sure if we were ready to "commit" to full on all plastic sweds. These are a great balance. You get the visibility and light weight, but with the silicone around the outside, they are nice and comfortable. They take some adjusting and patience to get the fit just right, but they are comfortable and feel good.

Great, Cheap Goggles
After purchasing the Intex 55685 Water Pro Goggle and being extremely disappointed by the fact that they were horribly difficult to adjust, leaked, and one of the suction cups around the eye fell off and got lost after a week and a half, I tried these out. I love these goggles. Very easy to adjust the size, they fit comfortably, and work great all around. As some other customers pointed out, I do have a slight issue with the goggles fogging up occasionally, but it doesn't happen frequently enough to make it a problem for me. I highly suggest these goggles, especially if you're looking for cheap ones.

Cool but fussy
Don't love the nose strap but starting to get used to it. I like them when they don't leak.
